Bought with a Price
1 Corinthians · Piano Blues
[Intro]
Not everything lawful can carry me whole.
I will not bow to an appetite's throne.
[Verse 1]
The body is more than a hunger that fades;
it belongs to the Lord who rose from the grave.
The power that lifted the Son from the dead
will call these bones from their dust again.
[Refrain]
Bought with a price, I am not my own.
A temple of breath, a Spirit-filled home.
In body and spirit, in secret and light,
I glorify God; I was bought with a price.
[Verse 2]
These hands are the members of Christ in the world;
this life cannot join what dishonors the Lord.
The one joined to Jesus is one spirit with him;
so flee what would wound what his presence has filled.
[Bridge]
No bargain with darkness.
No throne for desire.
The Holy Ghost dwells here,
keep clear the altar.
[Refrain - final]
Bought with a price, I am not my own.
A temple of breath, a Spirit-filled home.
The risen Lord claims every pulse of this life.
I glorify God; I was bought with a price.
